Press relative TO wonderful cure Of
consumption that had been effected BY
Prof. Mclaughlin IN the case Of man
in Philadelphia by the application Of
a remedy that had been introduced in
Lyons, France, for the first time last
October by Prof. Bcrgeron. The
patient had entered into the last
stagesof the dread disease, and the at
tending physicians had given up all
hope Of his recovery, predicting his
death within 4s hours, The remedy
was applied, and in six weeks the
man was enabled to be about and to
ascend and descend couple Of flights
of stairs.
The States learns Of similar won
derful results from the same treat
ment applied to lady in this city,
whose name and address, although
known, are withheld for obvious rea-
sons. This person, too, had been de-
olared iucurable by the doctors, repu-
table and well,known physicisns Of
our city, inst about the time of the
reception Of the news Of the marvel.
GUS cures IN Philadelphia, and as It
was impossible to obtain one OF the
patented appagatuses in less than six
weeks, with the assistance Of practical
men of New Orleans the husband ol
the lady improvised one, aud two
weeks ago the treatment was begun
AT the time the patient was unable
either to eat or sleep, but within iivt
hours after the first operation there
was notable improvement which has
continued ever since, uRtil now the
lady is on the high road to permanent
recovery. The physicians who had
prophesied her death IN short time
are dumb-foupded, and declare the
remedy the most wonderful discovery
made in medical science in years,
The composition, which is admins
tered through the rectum, consists O
carbonated acid gas and sulphuratet
hydrogen gas IN about equal quaint
ties, and six quarts are administered
twice during every twenty-four hours
Before the treatment was commenced
her temperature registered l02 ant
l04 . but now il is 9s 2 a tritie be
low the normal, and she IS able TO ca
at one meal as much as she did for
merlY in a weeks time, while thI
night sWeats, with which she was sore
| ly afflicted, have entirely disappeared
Her weight also increased two pound
and a half in the past ten days,
In a few days the doctors attendan
upon this lady will give oomplet'
history of this remarkable case to th'
public, showing the stage the womaI
was in and her gradual but steady i'm
praVement since the first application
| OF the treatment. They are also Q
opinion that this remedy will prove
specific in yellow fever, and will Civ
their reasons fer SO believing ia Gil
culaF that will shortly issue.
Professor Mclaughlin was the tirs
medical man in the United States I
try the treatment, and he applied
to no less than twenty persnns sutfe
